Six Theses on the Relationship Between Artificial Intelligence, Education, and Society: An Interdisciplinary Perspective

Given the far-reaching social integration of AI systems, education must undergo fundamental change. We – Marc Berges, Annika Eickhoff-Schachtebeck, Dieter Engbring, Harald Gapski, Carsten Schulte, Kerstin Strecker, and Dan Verständig – summarise these necessary transformations under the term AI Education, outlined below in six theses. We call for a demystification of AI debates in the spirit of digital enlightenment, emphasising a critical, reflective, and multi-perspective approach, while rejecting technology-deterministic and solutionist responses to educational and societal challenges. As a normative framework for shaping AI Education, we propose aligning it with the goals of education for sustainable development. In the context of computer science education, we advocate combining creative-design and analytical-interpretive methods and present architectural and relevance-based perspectives on AI systems. Finally, we underscore the political significance of participation and co-design in AI Education. With these theses, we aim to address the interconnected technological, individual, and societal dimensions, foster interdisciplinary dialogue, and bridge diverse disciplinary perspectives.
